Wilshire Phoenix Files With SEC for Publicly Traded Bitcoin-Backed Fund
Investment firm Wilshire Phoenix just filed with the SEC for a tradeable Bitcoin fund. This one is similar to the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust.
To make this happen, Wilshire Phoenix has filed an S-1 registration statement to be in line with regulation. The registration reads:
“The Shares will provide investors with exposure to bitcoin in a manner that is accessible and cost-efficient without the uncertain and often complex requirements relating to acquiring or holding bitcoin.”
The value of the Bitcoin held by Bitcoin Commodity Trust (BCT) will follow a Bitcoin price index listed by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).
This is known as the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, or BRR, the index tracks Bitcoin’s price across multiple industry exchanges, which is the same rate used by the CME to cash settle its regulated Bitcoin Futures
